The Style Report: The Best-Dressed Men at the Golden Globes

Best Dressed

Leonardo DiCaprio

When you've been on as many red carpets as Leo it'd be easy to phone it in, but what separates him from the parade of average tus is the black shirt studs that give an almost graphic feel to this get-up. One small editor's note, Leo; button the top one only—you're not Jack Donaghy.

Ewan McGregor

When we talk about keeping proportions in mind, this is what we mean. The modern shawl lapel is skinny, so Ewan makes sure his dress shirt collar is appropriately abbreviated and the tie width matches that of the lapels.

Brad Pitt

Reigning in the large-scale lapels we've gotten used to seeing him in, Brad changes it up in this sleek number from Ferragamo without losing any of his mega-watt star presence.

Benjamin Millepied

Both Benjamin and Jeremy Irons wore double-breasted jackets but only Benjamin's actually fits. His jacket perfectly hugs the body without being too tight and makes a silhouette normally associated with the older set look fresh.

Ashton Kutcher

Saying Ashton cleans up well doesn't begin to do justice to his transformation from greasy Hollywood hipster to leading man thanks to this Gucci ensemble. Ashton hasn't looked this good in ages. A little effort goes a long way, folks.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Now this is what we mean when we say dressing with personality. The bow-tie is a touch of novelty, but not over the top, because JG-L keeps everything else classic in a Thom Browne tudo and black and white color scheme.

Jean Dujardin

Maybe its something in the water (or wine) in France, but Jean looks like a million bucks and most important of all, like he's not even trying to. The slick hair and slim bowtie add a level of Bond-ness to the right-fitting peak lapel tux.

Channing Tatum

Most guys go for a notch lapel tux because its basically a dressed-up version of their staple suit. Channing here treats it the same way, tie and pocket square, but appropriately elevated for evening.

Michael Fassbender

A little shine goes a long way for a night, or always in menswear. GQ cover-boy Michael Fassbender knows enough to let the sheen in his tux do the talking and keep the rest of the look clean and minimal.

Adam Levine

Decked out in a Tom Ford tux that fit like a glove, Maroon 5's frontman shows us that he can do the red carpet right after previous offenses (see here). We're hoping the drop-crotch pants were just a phase.

Almost There

Josh Brolin

Brolin was in the running for a best-dressed nod with this Dolce & Gabbana number, but his shirt collar, which kept trying to jump ship out of his lapels, ultimately knocked him out of contention.

Zachary Levi

We love a good navy alternative when it comes to black tie dressing, and Zachary's trim midnight blue tux had everything going for it until we saw the two-button closure—right next to each other. Details like this, that ultimately serve no purpose, only end up distracting from how well everything else works here.

Mark Wahlberg

Everything about this works: the lapel/collar/bowtie proportion, the fit of the jacket, even the "I have the #1 movie right now" grin. What doesn't is the jacket's length, which visually drags Wahlberg down and makes it look like he's wearing a hand-me-down rather than a piece tailor-made for him.

Will Arnett

Gray is the rarest of tudo breeds but can look just as elegant as any black option. We applaud Will for choosing such a unique alternative but the extra-wide tie drags the look down. A classically-shaped bowtie would have made for an easy upgrade.

Ricky Gervais

We have to give Mr. Gervais props for being in on the burgundy trend we are seeing all over Milan right now. While the tux is an upgrade over last year's checkerboard special, the matching vest and black shirt create too much commotion where it should be kept simple. There's always next year, Ricky.
